Sabai jakhan chai amare Takhan tomai chai ki kare Tai bujhi ma daona dhara Phirbe amar jirna ghare Ebar jakhan dakbe tara Ar debana tader sara Tanbe jakhan theko amai dhare Thakbo mago tomar paye pare
When everybody wants me, How can I long for You? Is it because of that, Mother, You hide from me? You will return to my small And broken heart-room. Mother, this time when others call me, I shall give no response. When they pull me to the outer world, You hold me firm and keep me safe In my own little aspiring world. Mother, may my entire life breathe At Your Feet divine.
